Oh yeah, then we got some big ass friendship tattoos on our legs. It is the three of bottle/cups, the tarot card associated with friendlove and deep friendship. Claire, SJ, and I are all water signs astrologically speaking, and the cups/bottles suite is all about water and emotions. There are sprig of lavender around it cos you know I love some lavender in the summer, and a big moon. I have left the banner blank so far because I am not sure what I want it to say yet. SJ got "Together we're home" which I like a lot, but I also like the idea of all of ours saying something different. So far "Never a wife" , " Fuck Ya!" (in honour of Shon's unicorn tattoo), and "Hella" are in the running. Of course all of these are awesome and terrible in their own ways, hence why the banner is blank!
Meanwhile my mind has been wandering back to the markets in Nice. In my dreams sometimes I am still wandering the 8 block maze of farmers market and flower stalls in the south of France.
The bread and gooey cheese and the huge figs. The most beautiful carrots I ever saw; I bought them even though we were leaving on the plane the next morning and I wouldn't have been able to finish them in time. I just wanted to look at them and eat as many as I could. I brought them on the plane with me and snuck glances of them every chance I got.And so as I am dreaming of Nice and waiting for spring and our markets to have abundance again, I scribble notes to myself in my book....blood orange and olive oil cake, orange yogurt cake with little wisps of rhubarb on top, meyer lemon curd tart with rhubarb, that tart from the gourmet magazine, peach tatins....
